The weekend was a good weekend overall. I didn't work out on Saturday, so I worked out on Sunday instead. I did weight training today, worked out my pectorals, abs, biceps, triceps, shoulders, and back. Nutrition wise, I had oatmeal, yogurt, and fruit for breakfast, a protein shake after the work out, and tried to eat every three hours when I could.
After reading some articles that Angelica sent me, I am starting to understand how much carbohydrates and amino acids are important in order for me to reach my goals. The carbohydrates provide two things for my body.
1. Energy to perform at maximum level. For example, if I do not eat before I work out, I will not be at 100%. Which is very important that I eat an hour before I work out. One training session I had with Angelica, I was running on empty. She had to get me a protein shake towards the end of the session. The carbohydrates is like gas for your body, to make sure it keeps running.
2. Repair/Rebuild - After a workout, you need carbohydrates in order to give you, once again, energy to rebuild your muscles.
Overall, it was a good weekend, but after today, I will be on a 7 day work week. I am hoping that all will be okay and I won't be as tired throughout the week.
